Hachune Miku

Hachune Miku is an officially recognized derivative of Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, she is acknowledged by Crypton Future Media, the publisher of the Character Vocal Series for Vocaloid 2, for commercial use. Hachune (はちゅね) is a mispronunciation of Hatsune (はつおと), which shows her childishness and generally silly disposition. Often seen in videos as a blank-eyed doll-like figure with a gaping mouth.

Design
Hachune Miku's design is directly based on Hatsune Miku, a Vocaloid 2 developed and distributed by Crypton Future Media, Hachune Miku is drawn in a SD-style (Super Deformed). The notable differences is her blank eyes, gaping mouth, and swirly pink cheek marks. On her left upper arm is the red mark "01", which is Hatsune Miku's series number. She is shown to be carrying around a welsh spring onion, negi (葱) in Japanese. Despite fan belief, she and Hatsune are not actually holding a leeks, this incorrect information came from the result of the popular flash animation known as "Leekspin".

Personality
Her personality does not appear to be defined by her original creators, instead the fandom displays her personality has being a silly chibi character who does random actions.

Hachune Miku was created by Otomania (video) and Tamago (picture) and established via Hatsune Miku's version of Loituma Girl internet meme, eventually going on to becoming its own character. Hachune Miku is acknowledged as one of the first mascots to gain popularity within the Vocaloid fandom. It is Hachune's presence that is responsible for the start of the Item War system that eventually began dying out with entry of Tako Luka later on. Her staying power resulted in being recognized by Crypton who adopted other derivatives such as: Sakine Meiko, Akita Neru, Yowane Haku, and Tako Luka.

Voice portrayals
In music videos and songs that have a singing voice in them, the voice is more of a representation of Hachune Miku, rather than her actual voice. She is regarded a silent mascot by the fandom. However, her voice can be heard in Project DIVA extend's opening (the version with voices).

Relationships
Her relationship with Hatsune Miku appears to simply be a mascot. In Project Diva she is shown to have multiple clones that help Miku in the music studio.
